When host system is under heavy load and the NPU is already running
on the lowest frequency, PUNIT may request Duty Cycle Throttling (DCT).
This will further reduce NPU power usage.
PUNIT requests DCT mode using Survabilty IRQ and mailbox register.
The driver then issues a JSM message to the FW that enables
the DCT mode. If the NPU resets while in DCT mode, the driver request
DCT mode during FW boot.
Also add debugfs "dct" file that allows to set arbitrary DCT percentage,
which is used by driver tests.

Currently the VPU firmware prepares for D0i3 every time the VPU
is entering D0i2 Idle state. This is not optimal as we might not
enter D0i3 every time we enter D0i2 Idle and this preparation
is quite costly.
This optimization moves D0i3 preparation to a dedicated
message sent from the host driver only when the driver is about
to enter D0i3 - this reduces power consumption and latency for
certain workloads, for example audio workloads that submit
inference every 10 ms.
The VPU needs non zero time to enter IDLE state after responding to
D0i3 entry message. If the driver does not wait for the VPU to enter
IDLE state it could cause warm boot failures.
